Makeup Geek Custom Palette

We’re finishing up “The Week of Makeup Geek” a bit late due to the fact that right in the middle of the week I got a new job! I’m super excited to be working in customer service again and am enjoying my work and colleagues. It was a bit of a transition though which is why this post is coming today and not the end of the week before last, so sorry about that! However, that did give me time to film a video which shows off the custom palette from today’s post, the Starter Kit from this post, and the Mystery Bundle from this post! Check out the video below and make sure to keep scrolling for more information on making a Makeup Geek Custom Palette and swatches of the colors I got!

About Makeup Geek

Makeup Geek is a shop and education site that is run by Marlena. You can find videos on different looks in the Education section of the site and you can find articles on things like “Best Foundation for Dry Skin” in the Tutorials section of the site. As for the shop, Makeup Geek started out as just individual pressed eye shadows for purchase and then moved onto other products like foiled shadows, pigments, lipsticks, highlighters, and even palettes! Makeup Geek currently has products that are available throughout the year and products that are only available during certain seasons, i.e. they currently have an Autumn Glow II Bundle that is only available during the fall. Makeup Geek also does collaborations with different YouTuber personalities like MannyMUA, an eyeshadow palette that is no longer available, and Kathleen Lights, a highlighter palette. Lastly, Makeup Geek’s products are cruelty free!

Makeup Geek Magnetic Palette

As stated in the Makeup Geek Starter Kit Bundle Post, read that here, the Makeup Geek empty palette is called the Travel Vault and comes as an empty magnetic palette. The Travel Vault can be purchased from Makeup Geek for $13 and can house any of their pan eyeshadows, blush, and contour powders. In addition, the Travel Vault can house other brands pan products as long as they are magnetic (i.e. anything you could put in a Z Palette). While purchasing a Travel Vault isn’t necessary for purchasing Makeup Geek products, it does make for a nice palette and I plan on purchasing more for other loose products I have. Lastly, for those who are a little hesitant to purchase a magnetic palette, Makeup Geek does offer a cardboard welled palette that can hold the eyeshadows in welled holes. You can see and purchase the 9 well palette here.

Makeup Geek Shadows

Here is where the Makeup Geek Custom Palette comes in at. If you’re looking to make a palette of your own colors you can get one for as little as $67 through Makeup Geek and that includes the price of the Travel Vault! Essentially you would purchase 9 regular or duochrome shadows and the Travel Vault to make your own Makeup Geek Custom Palette. You can also purchase some of the Makeup Geek Foiled Shadows but those are $10 each instead of the $6 that the other two types are. However, it is your palette to do as you please. My Makeup Geek Custom Palette was purchased by the Hubs for me last year and he wanted to get a mix of different types of colors, formulas, etc. so that is why this palette appears so random. Below you will find swatches of the colors he chose!

Final Thoughts on Makeup Geek Custom Palettes

If you’re looking to get into Makeup Geek products and the Starter Kit Bundle just aren’t the shades for you then you for sure should try making a Makeup Geek Custom Palette. If you are someone who is looking to build your eyeshadow collection and there are shades that you don’t have (or ones that look similar to what you have and you want to see how Makeup Geek compares) then you should give the Makeup Geek Custom Palette a try. Essentially there is no reason for you not to try making your own Makeup Geek Custom Palette!

I think I just found the perfect gift for my eldest! She’s a sucker for good make-up and this is perfect. I’m sure she’s heard of this before but since we can customize it, we can pick colors that she hasn’t bought yet!

Love having the ability to create a custom palette. So many times I will get a set of colors and won’t end up using one or two of the colors. This lets me be 100% certain I’m getting the colors I like.

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestYes it's no longer July BUT in my defense it's only August 3rd so I classify that as winning. If you don't know what I'm going on about, it's time for my July @boxycharm unboxing and the review of some of my June Boxycharm products. The past few months I was only doing unboxings and I was doing them so late I was doing them two months at a time. SO the fact that I reviewed June products and got the July unboxing up and it's only August 3rd is a win. Oh and obvs one of the products that

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestCan y'all even at this PR package that I just got from @pacificabeauty ?! I don't know what I'm loving more the tissue paper, the bag, or the actual products. I can hear you you asking through the screen, what ARE those products?! The product on the bottom are the Underarm Deodorant Wipes with Coconut Milk and Essential Oils. The spray at the top is the new Coconut Vanilla Underarm Deodorant Spray that is made without aluminum! Both of these are great to throw in your bag, your gym bag, or just have in the car for touch-ups throughout the

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestI don't know about you but as a YouTuber I love seeing brands collabing with YouTubers. I especially love when they do it multiple times. Can you believe that @maccosmetics has collabed with @patrickstarrr three times, yes that's right THREE! This is part of the MAC x Patrick Starrr Me So Chic set, the lipglass is hiding on the other side of the powder blush duo...it's a shy little thing, that I'm reviewing on the blog and my YouTube channel. I also have some swatches over there as well...not Instagram quality swatches hence their not being on here but swatches

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestWe all know that I'm a bit behind on my reviews so lets just get past the fact that these @klpolish polishes were released several months ago. Let's instead talk about how amazing KL Polish Paper Snow and KL Polish Tuxedo Mask look on the nails, don't believe me head over to the clickable link in my profile to see the swatches. Paper Snow seriously reminds me of when I use to paint my nails with White Out when I was a teenager...what don't judge me it was the late 90's early 00's I'm sure others did worse with beauty
